Hi, and thanks for your edits! If you dispute somebody who has undone one of your changes then the proper thing to do is begin a discussion—see WP:BRD for a discussion of some of the community norms in behavior of this kind. Notice also that WP:BLP requires that we use only the highest-quality sourcing possible for contentious topics involving living persons.

You'll want to read the section of that page WP:BLPBALANCE in detail for the reason I gave that secondary sources are preferable to primary sources, and also consider my argument: Dubov is far from the only GM I've heard express a view on the subject, so why would he be the only person to quote? So let's say we quote them all—dozens of GMs, many more chess commentators and chess streamers. Do you think this would produce an article of reasonable length, or something far too long and unreadable? So maybe we should only express a representative sample, but then how should such a sample be chosen? Well, luckily this isn't our job: if we only use news reports on the topics (such as The Guardian's piece on it, or specialist literature like ChessBase) then we can defer that job to journalists, whose professional career is about how to distill and summarise information. Maybe, then, there are such sources not already used. If you can find some (and I'm sure there are some—when I helped add to the section I'm sure I didn't get all the sources that existed) then present them and we can talk about what information from them we can incorporate.

You can reply here to continue the discussion, or start a thread at Talk:Chess.com or Talk:Tigran L. Petrosian, ask me on my talk page if you have any questions, or ask another volunteer for advice at the Teahouse (though they won't deal with questions like "should this chess information be included in this article?", but more general questions like "how do I start a talk page discussion?" or "where can I read about when it's okay to cite a YouTube video for a person's opinion?"). — Bilorv ( talk ) 19:03, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
